Oh yeah, I've seen that before.  Some of the packaging for KDE is a bit
wonky; two packages contain the same file, which is A Bad Thing.  I look
at the error messages and determine which package is failing to install
(it'll give you the file name, ie,
/var/cache/apt/archives/foo_0.1-1_i386.deb), then install it with 'dpkg
-i --force-overwrite filename'.  After that, I continue on my business.
apt-get dist-upgrade may tell you you need to run 'dpkg --configure -a'
first, in which case you should do that followed by the dist-upgrade.
(It may also tell you to run 'apt-get -f install'.  Do that too, then.)
